This version of The NecroLab is a rewrite of the previous version in my portfolio with a focus on migrating to a modern development stack. It currently runs on PHP 7.3, Postgres 11, and redis 5. Its backend is powered by Laravel 5.8 as the API and its frontend is a lean single page application written with Vue.js and ES6 Typescript. Both the development and production environments are configured with Docker and Docker Compose to simplify getting started with development and for quick deployments. As many features of Laravel are being utilized as possible; Socialite for third party API integrations, Amazon as a storage filesystem, queues, task scheduling, commands, the mail module, many components that leverage Laravel's libraries, and many more.
I am the sole frontend and backend developer of the entire site. The site is completely open source with the MIT license so it is open for anyone to contribute. Docker environments are available for anyone interested to get started quickly.The NecroLab

The NecroLab is a data analytics website for the community of the video game "Crypt of the NecroDancer". Its backend imports leaderboard data stored on Steam in regular intervals. After leaderboard data has been imported asynchronous tasks are queued via RabbitMQ to workers listening on those queues that will generating rankings, update steam users, and send data to Amazon S3 for archiving. Players are able to log in via Steam to then link various accounts to their profile. These accounts include Youtube, Twitch, and reddit. When a user links their account an icon for that site will appear next to their username on every leaderboard and ranking page to allow the general public to visit their profile pages and follow them. I actively work on the site and am in the process of migrating it from my custom framework to Laravel. Once migrated many features are planned to be added to the site. One of which is custom daily leaderboards.
I am the sole frontend and backend developer of the entire site. The design was provided by the community that I built upon. The site is completely open source so it is open for anyone to assist.Flow CMS

Iris also had a flexible student scheduler that would generate student schedules for a school or district based on various enrollment parameters. Iris is currently owned by Illuminate Education Inc. and is now known as Illuminate Student Information System.

Toward the end of my tenure I was also developing for the web application and the framework it was built on.
